Market aromas and Provençal flavors set the tone for this immersive full-day culinary experience in Avignon. The day begins with a guided visit to Les Halles, where a local chef introduces seasonal produce and helps select ingredients for the menu. A short walk leads to the cooking atelier, where hands-on instruction brings classic French techniques to life. Participants prepare a multi-course meal before sitting down to enjoy the lunch they created together. In the afternoon, the experience continues beyond the kitchen with a private wine journey to the nearby appellation of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Two guided tastings introduce the region’s celebrated wines, offering insight into terroir, tradition, and winemaking styles. Carefully paced and richly varied, the day blends market culture, culinary craftsmanship, and renowned Rhône Valley wines into a cohesive and rewarding exploration of southern French gastronomy.
